cleaned also.
l called an air duct cleaning company, and they offered
to also clean the coils in my furnace for only $75. They offered a cheaper
quote because of the convenience of already being in my home for the duct
cleaning.Are they qualified to do such a job? Should l worry about them
doing it correctly? l would love to go with them and save over a hundred
dollars. Anyone who is HVAC certified that can give me a good reason not
to use the duct-cleaning company, please let me know. Has anyone had their
furnace coils cleaned by a duct-cleaning company?

14 years & have cleaned hundreds of them. It is far from rocket science.
On the other hand I have seen some duct cleaning services that really are
rip off artists & just hire anyone off of the street to do the duct
cleaning jobs. I would say ur best bet would be to contact the duct
cleaning service again & ask them if the man that is scheduled to come to
ur home has experience with cleaning furnace coils.
Another thing that you could try if you are not comfortable with they're
answer is to check the phone book for HVAC company is that also do duct
cleaning. A company that I worked for previously was a full service
company & they offered duct cleaning.
